Great Tips for Buying Classic Cars Long Distance (Part 2)
Posted by Steve White on Aug 23, 2010
3) Get the Car Inspected: Since you cannot do your own inspection when you are buying a classic car long distance, it is necessary to get the car inspected by an auto inspection company. A proper inspection will give you a clear idea of the true value of the car. There are a number of reliable auto inspection companies that can conduct inspections anywhere in the US, and you can find them on the Internet.
4) Make the Seller Sign a Contract: It is not easy to tell the difference between an honest man and a con man these days. Don’t believe everything the seller tells you. Prepare a contract that shows all the terms and conditions of the deal and get the seller to sign it.
5) Choose a Reputable Auto Transportation Company: Although it is much cheaper to get a back-street broker to arrange the transportation of the car, it is not a safe option. Also, do not let the car seller handle the transportation. You should employ the service of an established transportation company that has its own trucks.
6) Don’t Pay until Car is Removed from Seller’s Property: It is risky to wire money to the car seller directly. After you make payment for the car, it belongs to you, and the seller’s insurance will not protect your property if something unfortunate happens.
7) Get the Car Insured: Once you have released payment for the seller, you have to get insurance for the car immediately. If you are properly insured, you will get adequate financial compensation if the classic car sustains damage or is stolen.
